No offense taken.

Well, my patch was precisely about reading the XML files.  Few changes
were necessary, because most of the work is done by libglade2.  I did
the following tests, which worked:

- hello world compiled against GtkAda 1.2.12 and reading an XML file
  generated by glade 0.6 (works out of the box)

- hello world compiled against GtkAda 2.0.0 and reading a libglade2
  XML file.  Does not work, because GtkAda 2.0.0 uses libglade1.

- same hello world compiled against GtkAda CVS HEAD and reading the
  same libglade2 XML file.  Works, thanks to my and Arnaud's patch.

Since I don't have glade2 handy, I generated the libglade2 XML file by
converting the libglade1 XML file.  In Debian GNU/Linux, the libglade2
package comes with a utility to do this: /usr/bin/libglade-convert.

Here is the start of the thread on this list:

Since I was concerned only with reading XML files using libglade2, you
are probably correct about generating them from gate; this is what
gtk_generates.ad[sb] does, right?
